rapfaria··on J. Kenji López-Alt is Seattle’s reluctant powerful food influencer
Love his youtube videos, but I wonder how can someone engage in answering so many hateful comments and such.

To think that by the size of his channel he would put someone in charge of this. Perhaps the "guys, gals and non-binary pals, I'll see you next time" came from someone telling he was not inclusive enough when saying goodbye?

rapfaria··on Stripe Tax
So the accountant should be charging less (or stripe more)
rapfaria··on Nobody cares about your clean code
"Users couldn't care less about the programming language you used", and yet the author is so protective of his work that I can't copy paste this phrase. Unhappy user right here.

We code for ourselves. We deliver value to the costumer. Two different things.

rapfaria··on JavaScript for Data Science
While understanble, I hate this. "Here's 100 pages of python before we get to the good stuff", which ends up not even being good.

Publishers should just offer a free e-book of said language, and make it a requirement.

rapfaria··on Ask HN: How can a unhireable person get a job?
You don't want to climb the ladder. What made you think you had a shot at all of those companies? One had a thing going at IBM/EA, you are much more hireable having a current job.

Unless you got an idea for the equivalent of a flamin hot cheetos, my advice is go climb it.

KPIs
rapfaria··on All my career rejections
Agreed, it can help others.
rapfaria··on All my career rejections
I get it, and I think we've all been hurt. But why keep this list?

I remember when I had a stellar year at a big corp. My manager said `nothing bad to report, wow`. I was ready for that S - a Special automatically meant a promotion.

A few weeks later, when the whole R&D got the performance letter, I received mine with a C. D usually meant `demitido`, or fired in portuguese. I couldn't believe it, and I kept that letter through many years, just as a reminder of how you can get screwed by things that are not in your power.

A few years later, when I saw the letter, I had a much better job, and was much happier. No good could come from seeing that letter from time to time, so I threw it away.

As long as these things are living in your life, they are consuming you. The sooner you let them go, the sooner you'll be free

Would be nice if this had a newsletter for updates like "Hey, X is cutting costs and your free happy meal will be cut to 2 nuggets starting 1st of March, and end completely next June"

Does it take 12.3GB of storage once cloned and built?
rapfaria··on Giant leak exposes data from almost all Brazilians
How is this directly related to Bolsonaro? Because it happened in the country he is president of?
rapfaria··on GitHub has received a DMCA from MPA about torrent tracker nyaa.si
Until you are paying for 10 distinct services, and the music colossi start to create services of their own.

No, probably gazelle

Anybody else's laptop activates their fans when visiting this?
rapfaria··on I Know What You Download on BitTorrent
I'm sad to report that waffles.fm is no more.

Agreed, getting on private trackers - and surviving - is non-trivial, and don't think I could do it today (uploading, contributing). But once you do on the really big and important ones, you are set for life.

rapfaria··on SoftBank’s Vision Fund Loses $17.7B on WeWork, Uber
I would never take a cab in Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo, but I take an Uber frequently.

The really big difference for me here in Brazil, is that I can communicate to someone in case the route is bad, something is stolen, etc. Taking a cab is so ephemeral that I don't even have time to complain or ask for help.

rapfaria··on A 2020 Vision of Linear Algebra
At college I had a very poor algebra professor, and my first grade was 15/100. I didn't want to fail any classes, and since I only had them in the evening, I went on to take algebra with other two professors during the day. Those two were different, but I wouldn't say better than the first. But with determination, it finally clicked.

Second exam was 85/100, the highest between C.S. and Automation Engineer (both lectured by that first professor). While I do agree that a good teacher can pave the way for a good student, I think most of the work you have to do it yourself, as if your life depend on it (mine did).

But why would you want to join those companies as a junior engineer?
rapfaria··on How we test at Nubank [video]
Not only that, but they had intentions of using `Clojure for everything`. From configuration management (currently using ruby if I recall correctly) to deployment, they want to use Clojure on all fronts.

Nubank, brazilian fintech.
rapfaria··on Ask HN: Best paid courses you've taken?
Any subscription will do or do I have to get one with the "digital library"? I think it's $198
rapfaria··on Ask HN: Advice for a new and inexperienced tech lead?
I like to think that a tech lead is someone that given infinite time, could deliver the project by himself.
rapfaria··on Ask HN: Did LinkedIn started selling user emails last month?
Or the recruiter came to your profile, saw your last position and tried contacting you at name@company.com. It's been happening to me a lot since November, when I switched jobs and got an email address just like this.
rapfaria··on Ask HN: What Skills to Acquire in 2020?
Watching threads like this makes my anxiety go trough the roof with all the exciting new things I could possibly learn, but probably never will.

So one skill to acquire in 2020 can be let go of FOMO.
